Artcle= SRK TALKS ABOUT VALENTINES NIGHT!

SRK talks on quizzing his friends.

After having quizzed individuals from all over the country, Shah Rukh Khan took the test of intelligence and patience, to his friends last night. In the midst of balloons, singing and dancing all three couples put together their knowledge to earn huge sums of money for their respective charities.

Although all of them did well, we asked SRK why he chose each of them and what he thought of their performance and below is what he said after the show:

Malaika and Arbaaz
I've known Arbaaz for a very long time. Truly he was one of the first few guys I met when I came to Mumbai. I used to go to their house and eat there. We used to play chess together. And they were very kind to me - Arbaaz, Salman, Sohail, Salim uncle, Salma aunty. Over the years our relationship has grown. Arbaaz is a very cultured, very quiet and very suljha hua kind of guy. I am very fond of him and Malaika and I'm very happy they came and played KBC. As far as their performance I think they did a great job – in fact when they got to the Hot Seat Arbaaz was the only one to get that answer correct. I'm glad they came.

Farhan and Zoya
Farhan and Ritiesh, the producer of the company, and Zoya – it was about a year before I began shooting for DON that we became very friendly. They live very close to my house so we meet up and spend long evenings together till the early hours of the morning playing a lot of games actually like Trivial Pursuit. And Farhan 'n' Zoya are very good at it. I thought this would be the kind of place that they would like to come and compete. And I think they did immensely well. I think some of the questions like the Thailand and Greg Chappell question were quite a winner to know. And genuinely there's no help from my side. They were quite anxious... they thought I would help them. But the way they did everything I was quite impressed by the way they played.

Farha and Karan
Karan and Farah are like family to me. What you saw here is exactly how it is always with us. None of us can work without having a great laugh and joking about it. I think if you come to our sets it's a completely different atmosphere from most other sets. We cancel shootings or when things go wrong we just have a great good laugh and come back because that's how our nature is. Those two are very funny. They are idiots actually they are so funny. They wanted to win the maximum amount of money last night. I wish they had a little more time than they would have. Farah is very very sharp. Surprisingly Karan was too! I was quite shocked at Druk Air and the other two answers that he gave. I never thought he would. They are very funny and really warm people and at the end they danced a lot but I'm sure they wished that they won 50 lakhs.
